Thundercat 60 Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Just had a peak out the window and noticed that Fuji is covered in snow. Not just a little dusting like it usually gets at the beginning of the season but snow completely covering the top. It's also quite chilly out today... the transition from hot to cold in this area has been really fast this year! Link to post Share on other sites

muikabochi 208 Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 I'm sure it said on the news that the first snow on Fuji was 30 days later than last year and about 8 days later than 'normal'. Link to post Share on other sites
snowdude 44 Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 That would be about right it was very late this year. The last three years had been earlier than usual. Link to post Share on other sites
